Is anyone awake?

Always. May not have the swiftest response time, but you’ve got an ear here.

As a fellow (former) college student, and a participant in Greek life, I’ll tell you that this is a hard time, especially when things stack up this drastically. People are really coming into their own at this point, and deciding who they want to be, who they want to hang out with, and what they want to do. Unfortunately, that can mean some friendships will be left behind. A lot of mine were when my buddies pledged or moved into different social circles. This could also explain the friend who stopped talking after you left pledging. She’s in a different circle, and it’s her choice, but it doesn’t reflect on you. If I have one piece of advice, and one that’s worked for me, it’s to find something you truly enjoy doing, and an organization that will help you do it. There are usually tons for any interest on a college campus. You’ll be around people who are into a lot of the same things you are, which makes for a great basis for new friends. Also, most colleges have a counseling center that’s free for students. It’s completely confidential, and in times of crisis, can actually be a really good lifeline. Take care of yourself first and foremost. And things will get better. Besides, graduation’s not that far away, and no reason to miss that.

You can always request a different counselor. If you’re in a position where you can’t discuss it, then counseling’s going to be ineffective. I know with mine I discussed specifically that I was not going to accept being sent to the hospital because I didn’t have a suicide plan, merely suicidal feelings. But that’s just in my home state (California). Hopefully there are other counselors on hand who will be more understanding to your situation.
